Ahhhhhhh... Just had to post this. Went to the beach yesterday and walked along the sea wall and then I walked again at the lake. I really enjoy walking. The beach was beautiful as usual and the surf was up.

Well... I picked up a few more things for my NY trip but I have been conservative because they probably will be huge on me in a month or so. I got a cute faux fur lined jean jacket. I bought some sweat sets to sleep in and a sweater. Skechers and some killer pumps. I also bought a another coach purse... I know I'm addicted to purses and shoes. Is this my transfer addiction... do transfer addictions count if you had them pre-op too... cause that's not technically transferring?!? Anyone? Bueller?

Yesterday was Barbara's birthday. Happy Birthday Hoke! She said she had a great day, went to the zoo and her parents came up with another van load. She's got a lot of stuff too. If I ever moved out I'd need a huge moving van...for my purses & shoes alone.

Highlights of the day:

Bull riding finals this weekend and next (I'll need to tape em next weekend... I so need TIVO)Dinner of roast chicken and roasted butternut squash (very Fall)

Hmmm what's been going on lately... well I sliced my finger tip on a can of tuna. I'm recovering but it was pretty gnarly... lots of blood. Ewww. I think it's messed up the nerves too. My sunburn is just now feeling better but still peeling and looking hideous. That was truly the worst. sunburn. EVER.

On the weight loss front I'm down 65 pounds but weigh-in day is tomorrow so it's probably more. I only weigh once a week on Tuesday's otherwise I think I would get to hung up on the #'s and freak at little daily fluctuations. So 65 is my last Tuesday total. I don't know whether it's a good thing or bad but my clothes are falling off of me, again. I bought a few new tops and pants a few weeks ago and they are almost to big now. It's crazy! I did squeeze into a get this... size 18 pair of pants. Woo hoo. This reminds me of something one of my cyberpals and I were discussing yesterday... the discussion was bad things about having WLS. Here's one I came up with: No longer being able to tackle a skinny gunman to the ground. I used to think... oh yeah I could take him and now hmmmm maybe not.

On a serious note, I started taking Biotin because I've been losing hair for the past couple of weeks and it's starting to make me nervous. I knew this was going to happen but it's not easy... :(

Highlights of the day:

Downloaded a bunch of new music.The weather is changing... yeah Fall!Cheese

About Me

I had my guts rearranged (aka Weight Loss Surgery, RNY gastric bypass surgery June 2006) This blog is basically me rambling about my world. I also post recipes that I've adapted to make weight loss surgery friendly.
I love to cook.
I have always loved to cook. It's my creative outlet. I was scared that having weight loss surgery would put an end to my days in the kitchen but happily it did not. I actually get to be even more creative by analyzing a favorite recipe and seeing where I can make changes to make a healthier version of a pre-op favorite.
